    From what I've heard, I believe he will not be his Colbert Report character. Makes sense though, given the different format between his show and the Late Show. I wonder how much of a shock it will be to people though who have been watching the Colbert Report for years. Colbert has always done a really good job of maintaining his character even off the show -- like when he testified before Congress about immigration (I think it was immigration). I've seen his show live before, and off the top of my head, that's the only time I can remember seeing him out of character.

    So does he go back to being 'COAL-bert' in 2015, or is this 'coal-BEAR' thing here to stay?

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I have a friend that is begging me to watch his tonight show and I just can't do it. I'm sure he's better, and has some good bits, but he forever ruined himself for me. Not that he cares I'm sure, but at least I know I'm not alone.
    Eh I am a theatre nerd, too, but I don't think everything has to go exactly like theatre. Like I said the Korman stuff cracks me up (and that probably happened way more often, and it was also live), so that's probably why Fallon doesn't bother me.

    Either way, sad to see the Colbert character go. I feel like Colbert had a stronger effect as a whole than he will out of character. I'll still probably end up watching it religiously though.

    he's doing a different format, Colbert is the better singer and probably dancer, it's just not what his CC show is based on


    colbert's show will very much be a variety show, that's the whole reason they want him

    Craig Ferguson announced on tonight's show that he will be leaving the Late Late Show when his CBS contract expires this December. Of note, he mentioned he plans to retire rather than take another hosting job.

    Personally I think Colbert out of character is going to turn a lot of his fan base off.

    Interviews like this are what I'm gonna miss most when Colbert drops his character.

    Not sure if it deserves its own thread, but its certainly relevant here: Larry Wilmore will replace Colbert in the post-Daily Show timeslot with 'The Minority Report'.

    Glad they didn't try to just replace Colbert and keep the same show, since that would never work. Looking forward to see what they come up with.

    I was thinking the same thing when I watched it, how he is so talented and how much I'll miss it. Flawless how he turns his emotions like that without laughing his ass off. I don't even know what to say about the LARP guy..just fucking dang.

    Not really related, but have any of you seen John Oliver's new Show -- Last Week Tonight? I wish it wasn't a weekly show because the first two episodes have been amazing.
